VS Code: find `pest-language-server` in $PATH

Open flying-sheep opened this issue 10 months ago • 3 comments

Describe the bug

After installing a system package on Linux that provides /usr/bin/pest-language-server, I saw the popup about not finding the LS and about installing it via cargo install

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install pest-language-server in $PATH, but not in the cargo bin directory
  2. Install extension
  3. witness it not finding the server in the standard location for executables.

Expected behavior

$PATH gets searched first for the binary.

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Linux
  • Editor vscode
  • Server Version: 0.3.11

Yes, the VSCode extension should definitely check PATH in hindsight. For now, you can use the "pestIdeTools.serverPath": "/path/to/binary" config option in your VSCode settings.

Doing that as a workaround, but it’s cumbersome. I have to make sure the setting isn’t synced and set it differently on different machines.

So fixing this would still be appreciated!

Now I’m using this extension on MacOS and Linux, which makes it really uncomfortable without this.
